Re: [DMCForum] jacking up the engine

["Eric Itzel" <ericsdmcmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How can I sell such a fun car?

I don't really want to remove the engine, just kick it up enough to get to the front oil pan bolts.

Thanks!

Eric

  Hey Eric, glad to see you haven't sold the car yet. I don't think you will
  have any problems doing this, especially after the weekender with Ryder's
  car at Brian's.

  The worst part I know about would be breaking off part of the block where
  the engine mounts. Mark V. removed his entire engine and transmission and
  did a really nice job of cleaning up the engine bay and engine. He has a
  link somewhere on what he did so maybe he will reply with that for you.

  Hey everyone!

  I am thinking about dropping my oil pan to fix a leaky plug and seal- so far
  my debate is whether or not the job is too big for me to handle because of
  having to jack the engine up a little bit to get to those hidden bolts. Just
  how hard is that to do? Other than the two motor mounts, is there anything
  else that has to be undone/loosened to move the engine?

  Thanks!
